Waterloo Bridge is a popular Broadway drama written by Robert E. Sherwood and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. It was Vivien Leigh's first film after the success of Gone With The Wind. A simple tale of love gained and lost, it tells the story of a chance encounter between a dancer and officer during World War I who meet on Waterloo Bridge during an air raid.

Waterloo Bridge was a success at the box office and nominated for 2 "Academy Awards" - best music and best cinematography. It was also considered a personal favourite by both Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor.
